  • Publication number: 20230088946
    Abstract: An electronic device may include wireless circuitry having one or more radios and one or more antennas. For some device configurations such as during a device low-power mode, a radio (operating in a radio on-off mode) may alternate between on and off states based on a duty cycle to reduce power consumption and increase device battery life. Radio operation in the on-off mode and device operation in the low-power mode may accommodate other radio operations such as emergency broadcast message reception, radio operations under an allocated power budge, user equipment periodic registration and update operations.

  • Patent number: 11012941
    Abstract: This disclosure relates to dynamic baseband management for a wireless device. The wireless device may be an accessory device. The accessory device may determine whether it has a short-range wireless communication link with a companion device. The accessory device may determine one or more proximity metrics relating to the companion device. The accessory device may further determine one or more metrics associated with user settings, user activity and/or application activity at the wireless device. The wireless device may select a (e.g., full, limited, or off) baseband operating mode based on any or all of these considerations.
